Chapter 112 You will answer quickly
In the 26th round of the league, Bournemouth challenged Rotherham away.

Rotherham, who was outshadowed in the FA Cup, let the midfielder Smallwood stare at Rossi after the game started, and did not give him any chance to get the ball.

Throughout the game, no matter where Rossi was, there was a blond boy by his side, like a shadow.

This "special" arrangement did make the Bournemouth team lack vitality and slow rhythm when attacking in the frontcourt.

Eddie Howe wanted to use the advantage of the wing to open up the situation, but Wilson's offensive style on the wing was too single, and he became a "running back" competing with the opponent's defender for speed, and the effect was naturally unsatisfactory.

Without Rossi's connection and involvement, the team's ability to move forward has declined significantly.

Marking Rossi one-on-one, the lack of players and players doubled the pressure on Rotherham's midfield defense.

But the players used active running to make up for the defensive loopholes in time.

In the full 40 minutes, Bournemouth had only two threatening shots, and their offensive ability was greatly reduced.

This season, Eddie Howe's team, that is, a team that encountered Rotherham's tenacious defense, found it difficult to advance on the offensive end.

In a fit of rage, he gave Rossi the power of a libero, allowing him to adjust his position based on his reading of the game.

In this way, Rossi's activity area is very wide and very flexible.

He often pulls to the weak side of the wing without the ball, allowing his teammates to concentrate on attacking the other side.

Gradually, both sides hoarded heavy troops on one side.

On the weak side, it's just Rossi and Smallwood.

Rotherham is not worried.

Rossi is a team player with limited 1v1 ability, which is why he dared to defend him alone.

Unless it is a player like Messi, a single defense is impossible to defend, and an iron cage is needed to trap him.

Pugh and Rich were on one side, connecting the teams to attack, using short passes in a small area, trying to tear through the defense.

Although Wilson's speed is fast, but in terms of the consciousness of coordinating the advance, he is obviously not as good as Rossi's ghostly running position.

Sideline throw.

It was Bournemouth's 15th touchline throw in the first half.

This made Eddie Howe a little difficult.

The team's previous offense relied too much on Rossi's running involvement. Once restricted, they couldn't find a way to score goals.

Coupled with Rotherham's defense, it is indeed better than other players.

Taking advantage of the gap, Rossi was on the weak side and whispered to Elphic. The latter looked surprised and looked at the head coach on the sidelines.

Rossi patted him on the back and said, "The boss gave me the freedom to play up front, listen to me, it's right."

After throwing the ball out of the hand, Rossi continued to return to the right, and Smallwood followed closely.

Bournemouth were blocked from attacking on the left, passed the ball back into their own half, and adjusted to find opportunities.

Elphick, who received the ball, kicked the ball directly to the left.

This is crazy!
There are only Rossi and full-back Francis on the left. Want to rely on them to advance?

After Rossi stopped the ball, Smallwood posted it immediately.

After he passed the ball back to Francis, he turned and advanced, and his teammates also passed the ball forward very tacitly.

This is a large open area.

Rotherham were unfazed as Smallwood had chased back and interfered with Rossi.

Rossi sprinted for the first 15 meters and was able to keep pace with Smallwood. After 20 meters, there was no room for a breakthrough.

He immediately hit the ball with the heel of his right foot and changed direction, trying to shake off the defense.

But Smallwood was well prepared, moving quickly laterally to prevent Rossi from cutting inside.

But Rossi's change of direction is not to cut inside, but to pass the ball.

It was the full-back Fransey who responded to his pass.

Francis, who advanced at high speed, dribbled the ball to the baseline. Facing the defender's interception, he passed the ball to the penalty area one step ahead of time.

Rotherham's defense is in place, and most importantly, Bournemouth has no players to grab points.

This pass is pointless.

Both Wilson and Pugh were marked by the opponent's central defender, even if they jumped at the same time, they would not take advantage of it.

At this moment, a tall figure was driving straight into the penalty area at high speed, catching the defensive players by surprise.

What's the situation, who is this?
I saw him jumping high, grabbing ahead of the defender, shaking his head and attacking the goal.

This header converted all his sprinting power into header power.

The powerful header caught the goalkeeper off guard and watched the ball fly into the net from the near corner.

After the goal scorer landed, everyone could see his face clearly.

5, Elphic.

Isn't he defending from the back? When did he kill him?
【GOAL, the goal is scored! ! ! 】

[Head hammer from defender Elphic.The header was so fast that the goalkeeper had no reaction at all. 】

[It's not so much that he didn't respond to the header, it's better to say that he didn't think about it at all. 】

[Rotherham's defense is in place, just ignore Elphick who inserted from the back row. 】

After scoring the goal, Elphick, ignoring the panting from the backcourt just now, rushed to the sidelines, clenched his fists and roared in front of the corner flagpole, and then hugged Rossi tightly.

This is his first league goal.

Eddie Howe on the sidelines was also happy and surprised, because the opponent's midfielder defended Rossi, and there was only one less midfielder barrier.

At this time, the central defender plugs in and can create good opportunities.

But the timing of the central defender's insertion must be very accurate. Only when the offense is shifted to one side and the opponent has no time to take care of it can there be a surprise effect.

When did Elphick have such a smart forward awareness.

Eddie Howe couldn't figure it out, but the goal just now gave him a tactical idea.

"Ro, you are amazing, I really scored a goal."

Rossi said: "Francis passed the ball well, and you are also good at heading the ball. I heard a 'bang' from such a distance."

Elphic smiled even more happily.

In the first half, Bournemouth took the lead thanks to Elphick's goal in stoppage time.

During the halftime break, Eddie Howe arranged the tactics for the second half, allowing the central defender to advance properly and compete for the header.

After the start of the second half, this tactic achieved good results.

The frequent advances of Cook and Elphick can not only liberate the offensive ability of the midfielder.

When they are in the penalty area, the header ability is also released.

Rotherham was almost crushed.

If it is a tie now, they will accept such "destruction", but the score is behind, they can no longer stick to it.

In the 60th minute, Danny Ward, who was trying to force a breakthrough, was intercepted by Suleman, who immediately counterattacked and gave the ball to Rossi on the weak side.

Before receiving the ball, Rossi raised his head to observe the running position of his teammates, and quickly passed the ball to central midfielder Harry.

Smallwood is the closest to him, and he should be the first to defend.

But his task is to defend Rossi alone, and no one else cares.

But if you don't care, Harry can advance with the ball and threaten the goal.

But if the defense is made up, what about Rossi?
Just as he was hesitating, Rosie sped into action and dodged past him.

Smallwood hurriedly turned and chased back, but at this moment Rossi had received a pass from Harry and advanced into the penalty area.

Francis' lap came in and took away the defense, and Rossi faced the central defender Anason alone.

Swing forward with left foot, swing forward with right foot.

Rossi used a simple "pendulum", swayed the defense, and reached the penalty area.

[Beautiful, the defensive player fell to the ground and was shaken away. 】

[Smallwood is chasing, is there a chance! ! ! 】

[Luo Chuan arrives at the door, knock on it! ! ! 】

[The ball is scored, a shot from Wilson. 】

[This goal is mostly due to Luo.He used his 'pendulum' method to knock the defender to the ground and pass the ball to the goal. 】

[In modern football, few people use this method to get rid of the defense.Because the core and knees are very demanding, many players now directly use the change of direction to shake the goalkeeper. 】

[However, Luo's "pendulum is extraordinary" endows more confusion and appreciation, and the speed of changing direction is not fast, which can reduce the burden on the knees and shake the defensive players down. 】

[Genius, Luo is really a genius. 】

After leading by two goals, the overall situation of the Bournemouth team was settled. In the 75th minute, Rossi was replaced.

Because in the middle of the week, there is a game against Leeds United.The weekend is the fourth round of the FA Cup.

In the end, Bournemouth won easily 2:0.

Back in the locker room, Eddie Howe was very satisfied with the performance of the players and praised Elphick.

"Your goal was too timely and it was the clarion call for our counterattack."

Elphic laughed: "This is what Luo asked me to do."

Eddie Howe looked at Rossi in surprise, impressed by his ability to read the game.

Not only can you find the opponent's loopholes, but you can also command your teammates and participate in the correct offensive tactics.

This is not only able to answer questions, but also rush to answer.
